Bart:
Sorry about that. I got on a roll and forgot to get back to the
beginning. The point I was ORIGINALLY going to make is that, while
euthanasia violates what we think of as Judeo-Christian philosophy, it
is completely in keeping with Greco-Roman philosophy. Especially when
done on the orders of your superior, who happens to be the target. That
is so totally Greco-Roman...
